Originally from Boyd County, KY, Chaney has since relocated to Lexington and is sure to be the next big thing coming out of Kentucky. At only 21 years old, Chaney’s catalog may be small, but he already boasts an absolute masterpiece of an album in which he proves wise beyond his years.
Mercy, his debut album released in 2021, is a 12-song showcase of Eastern Kentucky, blue collar anthems highlighted by Chaney’s deft lyricism and storytelling. An unknown musician prior to the album’s release, Chaney has since experienced a meteoric rise in popularity and has quickly amassed a growing and dedicated fan base, already thirsty for new music.
The Local Honeys are a Kentucky bred duo specializing in the traditional music of their home state. Comprised of Linda Jean Stokley on guitar and old time fiddle and Montana Hobbs on banjo, the two have developed a sweet melding of instrumental and vocal blending that sounds like the bluegrass kissing the mountains. Dedicated to the preservation of regional traditional Kentucky music, The Local Honeys also compose original music that tells the stories, trials and songs of the mountains and people of southern Appalachia. Hobbs and Stokley made history in 2015 when they became the first two women to earn Bachelor of Arts from Morehead State University from the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music. They are versatile in their performance and able to captivate audiences while educating them on the rich history of Kentucky folk music.
